Jacob Sherson

Aarhus University

Speaker at GOTO Copenhagen 2018

Associated Professor, Center for Community Driven Research, Department of Physic and Astronomy, Aarhus University

Jacob is originally a quantum physicist and has previously set a world record for quantum teleportation and is now trying to build a quantum computer. In an unconventional approach to optimization, he established the citizen science project ScienceAtHome seeking to utilize gamification to exploit the unique human intuition. The first citizen quantum optimization results were published in 2016 in Nature and received global media attention; LA Times wrote “Take that AI, video gamers solve quantum physics mystery”.

Talks

GOTO is the enterprise software development conference designed for team leads,
architects, and project management and is organized for developers, by developers.
As software developers and architects ourselves, we wanted to craft the ultimate
conference.

The result is a high quality conference experience where a tremendous amount of
attention and investment has gone into having the best content on the most important
topics presented by the leaders in our community, staged in an intimate environment
needed to support as much learning and networking as possible.
